I dont own any Kraft, but brown came pretty close. I colored the shopper in with my prismas and OMS. I cut her out and added an extra dog and extra packages. A girl can never have enough packages! Those dogs are too darn cute, Their collars are embellished with glossy accents. The red scalloped square was embossed with my dots cuttlebug folder and that fantastic paper is from Basic Grey. I also used my ek success swiss dots punch to make that fun pattern on the black piece. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh I do want to mention how you all can save alot of money on sentiments! Instead of spending money why not just look through your favorite stamping company, find that just right sentiment and then get a free font from fontspace.com and then create it in word. More than likely you will find the same font they used :) That is what I did with this sentiment :)</div><div><br /></div><div>This is one of my favorite images of Victoria Case so far.
